Long overdue relinquishment

It is so tiring, all the perpetual elation followed by disappointment. I should have relinquished long long ago, yet a possibly hopeful prospect kept me hanging on. Rationality tells me otherwise, but I never found enough determination to face my own common sense. All I can say is thank you for the experience. I've grown and learnt much, and I've had happy times too.

But I'm getting out of this viscious cycle. Period.
